Too Agressive?

[MINDofSIN]

I've realized that I am too agressive. I always get shot out advancing or snapshooting and being predictable. I usually shoot out the same side of bunkers when I get an adrenalin rush.

Now, I do make some killer moves and the adrenalin helps me out alot.

My question is, how can I be less agressive and calmer while not sacrificing any opportunities to move/bunker someone?

before you act on your instinct...think and observe exactly what's going on...and make sure your back support knows that you're making a move..and try and think of a way to go about it that is different than what you usually do...since you said you're pretty predictable.

I dont think your problem is agressiveness but being predictable, you need to get into the habit of taking shots from different parts of the bunker. If you drill yourselt that way you won't have to think about it and calm down bc it'll just come naturally.

[MINDofSIN]

No, I am usually pretty good at mixing things up but I do things too often. It's not really an issue of how I shoot but more like when.

My back players...ah...don't talk at all and I feel uncomfortable without covering/watching for muggings myself.

See, explaining to other people really does help. I should work on communication with the back players.

But I am still to agressive. The low communication certainly plays a role but I think there is something else causing me to get shot out early in too many games...

You have the same problem I do. I'm guessing though that part of yuor problem stems from moving too far up adn not having any supporting fire from your back men. This happens to me a lot. I move up and all, but then I realize I'm the only one in that close. I mean, I can hit the 40 tape bunker on the right, but in the meantime, my front players are at the 20 and my back players are at the 10. I get nailed because I'm nautrally the closest (and therefore easiest) target, so if I poke my head out (I have two choices against the tape, left side of the bunker or over top) I'm instantly hammered on. Try not moving so far up and coordinate all your moves so that at least one player moves up the same amount you do. If you're already doing this, then try the big no-no (popping out the top of the bunker). It throws them off. Even if you don't shoot or anything, they'll shift their aim, so you can safely pop out the side. And if all you do is pop up and down real quick, those guys who are busy aiming at the side of your bunker won't be able to re-aim in time to hit that big head of yours sticking up top. You won't hit anything, you probably won't see much, but you will shift everyone's aim.

I get agressive when i get angry. Like say my team isn't listening to my wonderfull advice :D. Then my more newbie like friends are firen from the back of the feild. So i scope the situation, go in and CHARGE like a mother.

[WVprankster]

maybe think of channeling that aggression- wait for a time to make a killer move, then just go in there and wreak havoc.

[MINDofSIN]

Prankster that reminds me of some P8ntballer articles I read not to long ago about the sports mindset.

I like the idea of channeling agression...not quite sure how to do it.

I guess if I talk to myself when I play that might help ;)

*camly* Waaait for it Mind...Waaaait for it...Yeahhh...

*SHREIKING* DO IT! BUNKER HIM!!!

Always think of the consequences and weigh your odds of survival before entering a confrontation. If you don't really give a ****, go up there and bunker the dude and take out as many others as you can.

to keep myself "chanelled" i sing a song in my head so it kinda keeps my mind "chanelled then when i am behind a bunker, i can keep control
:yell: :yell: :yell:

I channel my energy in to game breaking moves.

Or try to....

[Crash Danger]

Yoda can teach you how to channel your anger...

But yeah I have the same problem as you do (sorta) I advance to the enemy too quickly, and my teammates aren't there to back me up. But it's not my teammate's faults, when I move up so quickly, the main problem is that I make too much noise and am seen too easily. I guess you just have to find a good balance between agressive and passive...

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. As soon as I hear that whistle blow, bam I'm running strait foward up the field. This often puts me in risky positions from the opposite side when I'm halfway up the field and all the newbies are all camping in the back. But what I do when I'm all alone and all by myself is I just sit down behind my bunker and wait. I might never even fire a single shot until halway through the game after everyone on the other side has forgotten I'm there. I've had people run past right past me without even seeing me because they forgot I moved that far foward. Sometimes I get lit up pretty badly from time to time when of them do remember I'm there, but for the most part if I stop shooting and just camp for a little while, it works out pretty great. :)

I run up to a pri determined bunker, some times I ran up the like crazy and get shot up. When Im pissed I shot and run right up the guy and blast him, umless he is 10 yrs old.

I kind of have that problem, but I'm not super aggresive. It's just that the people I play with aren't aggresive at all. Last time I played, I was already up on them. It was an unfair game 3 on 4, our team in favor (but we had a newbie). So I was alreay up there, 1 on 3, and no one on my team was backin me up. I got shot 4 times from bout 40 feet away. Neck , shoulder, and mask. I sat around and watched the rest of them play for a while. No one on my team was even close enought to break any if they did hit them until 5 minutes after I got out. And they play so unaggresive that the game lasted another half hour. I need to find better ppl to play with.
